Braga, Maximinos — 2024
A former 19th-century palacete transformed into eight contemporary residences. Winner of the 2024 Braga Urban Rehabilitation Award for sensitive heritage restoration.
While Lisbon and Porto dominate headlines, Braga — Portugal's third-largest city — has quietly become the country's fastest-growing urban center. A 2,000-year-old city with Roman roots, Baroque churches, and a booming university culture, Braga offers what the coast no longer can: authentic urban living at fair prices.
The historic center is experiencing a renaissance. Abandoned granite buildings are being transformed into modern residences, attracting young professionals, remote workers, and families seeking quality of life without the premium of larger cities. GritEstates is at the heart of this transformation.
Every GritEstates project begins with a building that has a story. Working with local architects and master craftsmen, we preserve heritage facades while creating modern interiors that meet Swiss quality standards.
